A friend of mine had a pet coon for years. He would fuck with it by giving it a sugar cube. The coon would take it to its waterbowl to wet it before he ate it. You know what a sugar cube does in water. The coon would go berzerk looking for that sugar cube.

So, put a bowl of water out there and a few sugar cubes.....................

You too can have racoons in your back yard:
Take a can of tuna in oil. poke a hole in it.
Tie it to a string from a tree branch so it's about 3-4 ft off the ground.
Sneak back after dark. Whoolah.

I am sort of not kidding. I have had a number of nasty racoon experiences. Much better to get rid of them, and use the wood chipper for it's second most important purpose (after looters, I'm sorry -- "undocumented shoppers" -- of course).

Barbequed Raccoon

1 Raccoon
1 bn celery
3 cl Garlic; chopped
2 lg Red onions; quartered
1 lg Apple; quartered
3 Hot red peppers
1 c Vinegar
3 tb salt

BE SURE LYMPH GLANDS OF RACCOON ARE REMOVED!!! Have someone who is
experienced remove the glands as well as the skin. (I got this recipe off the net, I believe he is talking about the glands between the shoulder and ribs. They are grayish-brown and hard to miss.) Pull celery apart and
wash. Place all ingredients in pot with enough water to cover raccoon.
Bring to slow boil and cook until tender or until fork goes in easily,
about 1-2 hours depending upon size of raccoon. Remove meat from pot, cut
off front and back legs; cut remainder into four pieces. Place on rack,
brush with your favorite barbeque sauce. Place in 400 deg. oven; turn and
baste frequently with barbecue sauce until a golden brown, 45 minutes to 1
hour. Serves 6.

My neighbor has told me, many times, how good BBQed coon is. I might have to try it.

i've had fresh raccoon roasted over a campfire before. Its not bad especially if you have a little blood in your alcohol system.

Now that you have fed them, you may have a raccoon commune living in your yard before you know it. Not really a good idea, they can cause all sorts of mischief. You could live trap them and bring them to your nearest wilderness area, and release them. That's what I always do. the most humane thing really. Racoons that live near humans often come to a premature end, sadly.

The live traps here are around $30, the city may loan them for a deposit if you live in a municipality.

AS far as dog food, racoons are much like goats. they can live on damn near anything.

Refreshing to see someone not trying to just kill everything in sight fo no good reason.

Live traps!!! HAHAHAHA

That's just funny.

You should see what happens to cats.

Racoons is targets!!!!

Fattening them up makes them big targets.

Illegal to kill Raccoons in Tn. That being said, I wouldn't kill them anyhow. If you've just got to feed them...i'd move the feeding area away from your home; you don't want them to move "in" with you.

Coons in Tn eat anything.

Not a problem around here. The coons eat their supper about 15 yards from this place...

I seriously doubt dog food will hurt a raccoon. Get a couple of them over to the taxidermists and have them mounted drinking from a beer/whisky/Tito's bottle, then put them in the party barn.

Never thought about the Tito's bottle!

Great idea.

TRG

insert light bulbs in the bottles and make lamps.

Last time(years ago) I encountered a ~~coon~~Racoon as I was walking in my backyard and the little shit made a bee line straight at me looking for something.

I asked my folks if they knew anything about him/it they siad that they where feeding him scraps to.

I told them to stop it before his buddies show up.

that's about as smart as giving NO residents $2,000.00 - soon they will want more!
I can just hear those 30 coons in your yard, "this dogfood is disgraceful. It's cold, dry, and the cheap kind!" "Yeah, it's a SLAP IN THE FACE!" He's got steak inside, let's go take it!
